Beautiful, dramatic shou x fake sunshine, genuinely dark gong, and several other dogs who get tamed
Note: All the gongs are manifestations of the world's consciousness, but they don't merge. Bai Zhengyuan is the primary consciousness.
"Your name is Jiang Yuxian? It sounds like a name from a Korean drama."
"Your swordsmanship is incredible."
Jiang Yuxian, born into a wealthy family but later becoming an athlete, heard those two things more often than anything else in his life.
So when the heavy truck came barreling toward him with its headlights flashing, he even had the uncanny feeling that it was only to be expected.
When he opened his eyes again, he was inside a Korean webtoon he'd read, in the body of an Omega widower with the same name, married to a dead husband from a conglomerate family.
Jiang Yuxian forced a smile: at least he wasn't buried in debt, having to pay it off with his ass.
The webtoon was called A Widower Can Find Love Too. He remembered it as a one-on-one, pure-love story that stood out among all those stories where the protagonist was passed around.
Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, System 69 brought up the ending.
System 69: "Host, to help you survive, I'll make an exception and show you the complete ending."
Jiang Yuxian opened it to the last page and saw, one, two... five people in bed. He shut his eyes at once. How did it turn into an orgy? What happened to the pure love?
A closer look at the character profiles on the first page
Gong No. 1, Yoon Jaemin: the conglomerate's second-in-command.
Gong No. 2, Han Haoju: the gentle, considerate adopted son.
Gong No. 3, Yeo Geonsu: the club's behind-the-scenes owner and his junior from university.
Gong No. 4, Gu Taehui: leader of the hottest boy band, TYJ.
After seeing everything, Jiang Yuxian fell silent. So the one-on-one plot he'd expected was only because the story hadn't reached the later chapters yet.
The widower Omega, unaware of the full plot, can only explore the dreams created by the System while taming the Alpha men who covet him in reality.
And so
After the funeral, the respectful second-in-command holds an umbrella for Jiang Yuxian, but his words are anything but respectful.
"Sister-in-law, don't be sad now that my big brother is gone. I'll take care of you."
Jiang Yuxian smiled, picked up the umbrella resting beside him, and pressed it against Gong No. 1's chest. "Does your big brother know that's how you take care of people?"
That night in the dream, Jiang Yuxian became the replacement Gong No. 1 had found. Gong No. 1 frowned at him. "He's not like that. Be more seductive."
After keeping up the act for a while, Jiang Yuxian couldn't be bothered anymore. He picked up a barbed whip and hooked it toward him. "How about now? Seductive enough?"
In the middle of the night, the gentle, considerate adopted son opens the master bedroom door, pulls the covers over his beautiful stepfather in bed, and whispers:
"Little Dad, don't you get lonely?"
Jiang Yuxian suddenly opens his eyes, grabs the other's collar, and murmurs, "Just say if you want to get whipped."
That night in the dream, he acts out an affair with the adopted son.
"Little Dad, you care about me, but it hurts here."
At a gathering, the club owner corners Jiang Yuxian and catches a whiff of his scent. Growing more and more tempted, he finally tries to coax him:
"Senior Yuxian, you don't seem to have been finally marked. Why not be with me? I won't neglect you like your late husband did."
Jiang Yuxian looks down at him and scoffs. "Why don't you get it up first and see if you're big enough?"
That night in the dream, he returns to his university days, where Gong No. 3, still his junior, inexplicably becomes his boyfriend. "Senior, want to come over to my place this weekend?" What awaits Jiang Yuxian is confinement.
The boy band's leader secretly hides in a car trunk and sneaks into the villa's master bedroom. When he sees Jiang Yuxian walk in, he cries prettily, all innocence and vulnerability. Like a little dog, he lies on Jiang Yuxian's knees, utterly aggrieved. "When we were kids, you said you were going to marry me."
Jiang Yuxian smiles gently. "Cry louder."
That night, he is forced into a romance in the dream, complete with a livestream sex scene.
After enduring confinement, bed-climbing, and forced love, he sighs.
Jiang Yuxian: At least I'm a normal person.
System 69: Host, you're an Omega with a heat cycle.
Jiang Yuxian: ...Well, that makes life interesting.
Since that's the case, he might as well pick up some young, healthy Alpha and take care of it.
And so Bai Zhengyuan was brought home.
This young Alpha is gentle and cheerful, but one night he pins Jiang Yuxian down on the bed, covering the red marks on the Omega's neck with kiss after kiss, and grits his teeth as he begs, "Please, don't let them touch you."
Jiang Yuxian: Oh, so they're all bastards.
